One Sentence Story:

Initially, she was happy to hear a jolly man coming down her chimney until she remembered it wasn’t Christmas yet.


About This One Sentence Story:

I’m having one of those days where I didn’t know what to post on my blog until a few hours before it’s time to publish something. I would have skipped publishing a post today altogether but haven’t posted in a bit and sort of missed blogging.

It’s sort of weird. Earlier I was complaining about experience some writers block. But I’m over that now and able to work on my books again. However, now I’m getting a bit of bloggers block. I don’t know if it’s because it’s the end of the year and I’m too exhausted to blog and write or if it’s just me being in a rut. Either way, I really wanted to post today no matter what.

So, I decided to share this one sentence story instead of not posting anything at all. It’s almost Christmas and tomorrow (or today depending on what time zone you live in) will be Christmas Eve. Naturally, it’s been on my mind for that reason. And so I decided to share a Christmas themed story. Except, I had to add my twist ending as I generally do since I love a good twist ending.

What did you think of this one sentence story? Who do you think was climbing down her chimney if not Santa? Let me know in the comments section located below because I would absolutely love to hear from you. Or simply stop by and say hi!

  1. Merry Christmas, Pooja!

    1. Merry Christmas!

  2. So that’s where that little Elf from the shelf snuck off to?! 😉

    1. Oooh! That’s an interesting thought!

    2. Well, now you know 😅

      1. 😂 Yea, but I didn’t know you’d keep and put him to shelf work!

        1. Look, no one lives here rent free- you gotta earn your keep 😆

          1. 🙂 I get that. Rumor has it Grinch was driving Santa’s sled, and got all the reindeer drunk laced candy canes but Rudolph was stoned on Imported weed from some excotic place down south of thr border. Anyways, Elf got dropped off at the wrong house on purpose and stumbled down your chimney purely by accident. I do have to say dressing him up in a TuTu and dancing to old Frank Sinatra albums just seem a tad anti-Christmasy cruel. Even Grinch is feeling a bit green over the whole thing. Just saying… 😀

            1. Haha well, maybe I need to get slightly more Christmasy then 😅

  3. “he missed his life, he missed someone, it’s time to reach out and reconnect.”
    A writer’s block…..yep have had that, sometimes a runner’s block. …..but like a random run, just writing evertually something comes out..it may be random garbage, but that seems to always lead to something else…I once gave a 3 hour live talk on running shoes, so once I start it’s hard to stop

    1. Yeah, I think when you keep writing and trying it helps get rid of the block. Thanks so much.

  4. Who was coming down the chimney? He was a burglar. He didn’t know anyone was home, a slam dunk he thought. What he didn’t know was that her date canceled at the last minute. She hears a noise in the chimney and walks over to check it out. He is almost down when he slips and falls out of the chimney. He stands up their eyes meet, and he steals more than he bargained for.

    1. Ooh, that could be like a really good Christmas movie.

      1. Yeah I was proud of that it came to me pretty easy. I can write good in short spurts can’t I. That or I have seen too many movies

        1. Yes, you definitely can. No matter what the inspiration was you did a good job with that.

  5. Perhaps it was a rep from the credit card company showing up early to collect the interest from all that holiday debt?

    On the topic of writer’s block – I have not been blogging long at all, but I do sometimes write offline, and some days I just find myself staring at the screen or notebook with nary a thought in my head. When that happens I either just start writing whatever, even if it makes no sense at all, or I just plain put it down and walk away for a spell. Could be an hour, could be a day, but eventually something sparks and I get back to it.
    Have a great holiday!

    1. Lol, that may just be it.

      I do the same to deal with writers block. I take some time off from writing and then write whatever I can till I get something good. Thanks and have a great one too!

  6. Your “One sentence story” made me laugh. 🎅🏻 Not sure if that’s the reaction you wanted, but thanks for the laugh. Merry Christmas to you, Pooja!

    1. Haha yes, that’s exactly the reaction I was going for 😅 Thank you and Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

  7. uh oh! Call the PO PO! LOL

  8. Well if it’s not Christmas when Mr. Jolly is coming down it’s a robber so be ready with that baseball bat to greet him, LOL

    1. Lol, a baseball bat and police on the way.

  9. Oh no! This is an opening fit for a horror story.

    1. Haha thanks, I love writing horror.

      1. That’s cool. 👏🏼👍🏼

  10. always fascinating… where your imagination goes, Pooja 😋👌

    1. Thanks so much 😊

      1. most welcome 🤍

  11. I am intrigued to know where this story is headed. Unless it is a very large fireplace there has to be some sort of magic involved, lol.

    Merry Christmas and may you only have friendly jolly people bearing gifts coming down your chimney at Christmas or otherwise :).

    1. There is magic involved, Santa got his dates wrong and arrived a couple days early lol.

      Thank you haha, have a wonderful Christmas too.

      1. Maybe he was visiting the bad girls first. 😉

        1. Haha perhaps so 😅

  12. Nice post ♥️💚❤️

    Wish merry good night and Christmas.

    I hope we continue sharing likes and comments and thus WE GROW TOGETHER. 🙏

    A CORDIAL GREETINGS 👋🇪🇸 BLESSINGS 🌸🏵️ 🌷💐🎁

    1. Thank you so much and same to you 😊

  13. In today’s world
    It’s definitely a stalker or that was coming down the chimney.

    Out of 365 days, you have atleast 256 days when you don’t know what to post, yet you write something fantastic.

    1. A stalker but she was ready for him once she knew who it was.

      Lol, honestly I don’t know what to post like 365 days. I just wing it.

      1. Well yeah
        I can tell from atleast 20 post of yours this month,that you don’t know what to post, yet you post something marvellous ❤️

        That’s the quality of you as a blogger 🌟

        1. Yes, I’m a bit of a mess but know how to get back up lol 😜

          1. Tomorrow you’ll say
            You don’t know what to write, yet here you are 😛

            1. As always 😛

  14. Pooja, are you a mood writer for your blog or do you schedule stuff way in advance? I used to be a mood writer but once I got into scheduling, I’ve never looked back. Now, how far ahead I schedule changes a lot (I’m currently only 8 days ahead instead of 28 like I usually am) but I’ve also been scheduling non-posting days for myself. I just write “Free Day” on my google calendar for Fridays and Wednesdays now, so that way I’ve “scheduled” a free day. Crazy how our minds work like that, isn’t it?
    😀

    1. That’s so interesting. I’m a mood writer although I used to schedule before. I think it may be back to scheduling for me.

  15. Ho Ho Ho!!
    That made me laugh – though there were sinister and macabre overtones!!

    1. Haha glad to hear that!

  16. Merry Christmas Dear !

    1. Merry Christmas!

  17. Loved it and I best not see anyone jolly coming down my tree Xmas or not!! 🙏😝🎄

    1. Lol, let’s hope so 😅🎄

  18. well it is not yet is it?
    unless you really are gupta!

    1. Well, you never know!

      1. the promised land. now tune into that nfl

      2. mr berry the promised land.

  19. Merry Christmas Eve !! <3

    1. Merry Christmas!

  20. It’s either a burglar or her boyfriend coming in with a surprise. Either ways, she might get a heart attack! So, aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!

    1. Haha, don’t worry she’ll be fine!

      1. Yes, these two options crossed my mind too.

  21. The Jolly Roger flag just fell down the pirate ship chimney again.

    1. Hate when that happens…

  22. Ha ha! Good six sentence story, Pooja! Merry Christmas. 💖

    1. Haha thanks and Merry Christmas to you as well 🎄

      1. You’re welcome, Pooja.

  23. Sorry to hear about the not-Christmas-Eve dilemma. Uh, merry Christmas, anyway, and a taser?

    I hope your blocks are few and brief. And you have a happy (non-tasered) Christmas day.

    1. Thanks, it sucks but it’ll go away eventually and then I won’t be able to stop writing lol.

      Have a great Christmas.

    2. Oh and I’ve been tasered once before and definitely think that’s a great way to stop an intruder haha.

  24. Scary! Best thing is to light a fire!!! 🤣🤣🤣

    1. Lol, true! 😅

  25. Love how much this little story tells!

  26. A secret admirer who wanted to kiss you goodnight haha those creeps are always ready for adventure

    1. Haha yes, those creeps are everywhere including our chimney sometimes…

      1. Thank God we don’t have one here LoL

        1. Lol, lucky you.

  27. I would say a ghost. She is writing a ghost story at the time and the ghost materializes through the chimney to cheer her up. She is supposed to be happy to see the apparition but instead she is scared. Now she is unsure if she really loves the ghost as she has professed in her book.

    1. Oh, that’s such an interesting interpretation. Maybe she’s surprised at first but ends up loving the ghost as much as she wrote she did.

  28. Great post! Way to power through the “bloggers’ block”!

    I think it might be Santa on a training run… 🤣

    1. Thank you, lol maybe! 😅

  29. 😂🤭
    The following day she found someone had broke in again, left a load of presents under her tree, drank all the milk and taken her mince pies and carrots!

    1. Santa really needed to check his calendar again, he was one day early as usual! 😅

      1. And he didn’t bring any 6 word stories. I hope 2024 brings daily (or thrice weekly at least) posts of 6 word stories 🤗

        1. Haha well, your wish may just come true 🤗

  30. It could have been an elf, or it could have been a burglar trying to rip her off.

    1. Haha yes, it could go either way.

  31. Beautiful post😊🎄🎉🤗🎁🌟🧿🙏👏👏

    1. Thanks so much 😊💕

      1. 🤗🥰🧿🧿Warmly pleasure, Pooja😊

  32. This is creepy 🤣🤣. I hope it wasn’t a jolly man in tights who was not Santa Claus, or she would have some serious problems right there 🤣.

    1. Lol, let’s hope not 😅

    Interesting!

  34. The one sentence story brought a multitude of emotions; laughter, thought provoking splendor and unsure essence. That’s quite a bit for one sentence, good job 🫶🏽

    1. Thanks so much, so glad it evoked so many emotions 😊
